Is there a canonical essay about (the problems with and complexities of) social media aggregation as journalism that I can just link to so I don't have to break down the angles and weirdnesses myself?

There has to be, right?

Bartender app has been acquired.

It’s not clear by whom, though.

One of my fisherman friends brought me some wild #salmon & free #corn 🙂
Cooked up for family. I'm having just a wee bit as my friend is taking me out in 2 hours.

jik, 8 days ago to iPad

I've got an #iPad / #OSINT puzzle, and I could use any suggestions anybody has to throw out there.
Back in 2022 in the middle of the pandemic a medical provider in NYC sent my uncle an iPad to attend a virtual appointment on.
I'm trying to figure out how to return it to them, or barring that, to factory reset it so that it can be returned to service as a useful device rather than a nearly brand-new iPad needing to be recycled.
This has proven to be... difficult.

My wife telling my (adult) daughter why we’re not going to the Filipino food festival (cos it’s raining):

“Are you kidding me? Everyone’s gonna get sick! A bunch of Filipinos with wet heads?!”

Ok these are fake, right? I mean I know people mess with the badging on their cars for laughs but (I’ve seen jeeps with Lamborghini badging etc) but are people actually that embarrassed? https://tech.lgbt/@LilahTovMoon/112581367855436119

So just a note on #caraapp from Bluesky:

“Cara has few to no real safety protocols in place. They have no experience with the "behind the scenes" part of running a SM site and it's starting to show.”

this was in response to someone saying they were being trolled, and there were no mechanisms to deal with a troll.

Things I Love About IT (#36,536 in a series of 10,000,000)
Me: “OK, I think we have the problem resolved, let me know if it’s still running slow in 30 minutes”

(2 minutes later)

🤡: “Mine is still running slow”

Me: 🤦🏻‍♀️

This evenings rabbit hole; listening to covers of Twisted Sisters “Burn In Hell” on YT.
A song I truly love for many reasons.

Unsurprisingly, it’s REALLY hard for bands to match the band that wrote and performed it. Although there were some very impressive SOLO video versions done.
Which …🫡

You know, I'm a woman of contradictions.

I have breasts all of my own. I see them every morning when I dress for the day and every night when I get ready for bed.

And yet... whenever I see a pic with someone's breasts plainly, mostly visible, I'm like, "Ack! No! Scroll, scroll, scroll!"

It's weirdly embarrassing.

What copilot recall will do is force companies to disallow any remote access with a personal Windows computer unless NAC detection can include recall.

Dear “white” Europeans, and especially men.
A quick Public Service Announcement:

This is a running fucking joke about mastodon:

“We don’t have racism here in (country with large known issues with racism)!”

Just fukkin’ stop.

if it doesn’t apply to you, why do you feel the need to say anything?

Real for real, all you do is show your own ass.

Now, this post below is being taken care of very handily in the comments so this is just for illustration.

Don’t be this guy.

Via @garius over on Bluesky:

“In 1994 the Pet Shop Boys were invited to perform 'Go West' at the Brit Awards.”

“They agreed and brought with them 3 separate choirs of miners. Some of those miners had marched with the gay and lesbian members of LGSM in the 1980s. It is one of the great, near-lost music moments”

@gwynnion I couldn't stop laughing, while in the waiting room of a health clinic, when I got to the part where Ben is stuffing dollar bills down the owlbear's pants. 🤣

Say what you will about Apple1️⃣, but one of the things I absolutely love about setting up a Mac system is that it asks you ONCE after creating a new account if you want to sign into iCloud.

If you say no? It says “are you sure?”

AND YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT IT AGAIN.

1️⃣ (and trust me, after 20+ years of doing mostly Apple focused IT work,I have plenty to say myself) https://emacs.ch/@mms/112557871297975408
